Anxiety in Florence , where a 5-year-old girl of Peruvian origin named Cataleya has been missing since last night . He was wearing a white shirt and purple pants.

The parents have filed a complaint and the search has begun, in which the carabinieri, firefighters, dog units of the Arma and groups of volunteers organized by the Peruvian community participate.

Many appeals launched on social media and on whatsapp.

As far as we know, the little girl disappeared while she was playing with other children in the courtyard of the former Astor hotel, the building occupied by some families where she lives . The mother was at work, when she returned she didn't find her, according to some witnesses the girl would have argued with some peers before disappearing into thin air . The little girl has been missing since 3pm yesterday.

The searches continued throughout the night and throughout the morning, unfortunately without success. The carabinieri have repeatedly checked the occupied building and the surrounding streets. Apparently some occupants refused to open the doors to their rooms and did not help.

It remains to be understood, even by analyzing in depth the images captured by the cameras in the area, whether the little girl has moved away from the building. All hypotheses are open, even that of the kidnapping, the investigators say.

The mother is desperate, who goes around the neighborhood screaming (unfortunately in vain) her daughter's name : "It's been too many hours and I don't know anything", her dramatic appeal. "I came back from work and the baby wasn't there."

Speaking with reporters, the woman recalls an argument that took place recently "with a family on the third floor of the same building because they were making too much noise" and then an attack that took place in the same building for which, among the occupants, it would have been blamed his brother, "but he had nothing to do with it".
